<p>I may have many misconceptions. I keep hearing of HMC as one of the most selective school, but I can’t help but notice the fact that they accept 45% of people that apply. They don’t seem to get many applications at all. Does this skew the numbers? I mean if they are in fact an extremely selective school, it must be only top notch people even applying there. </p>
<p>I can’t see myself getting into Stanford, that question was just as a reference. </p>
<p>Would somebody please compare the difficulty of being accepted to Carnegie as opposed to HMC?</p>
